How we chose the ten
We ranked well-known garden vegetables by how many people read about them online over a year, then checked that each has a full RHS grow-your-own guide. Potatoes came out top, so they come first. Growing guidance is UK-based.
Independent, not official
Our growing facts come from the RHS, the National Allotment Society and Kew, among others. vegetables.im is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any of them.
How the network works
The list of sites lives in network.json. This page and sitemap-index.xml are built from it, and only open sites go into the sitemap index. Each vegetable site has a link back here at the top of every page.
